You love to put an "extra chin" on everything and give a deep meaning to vainas that don't have it. DR is not the US, our history is different, stop copying the entire narrative of the African Americans, they basically got rights the other day. DR social context is not the same, since we became independent there are no more internal wars between blacks and whites, WE ARE ALL DOMINICANS. You CAN’T COMPARED what African Americans lived for years with our history. The closest that Dominicans have been to racism is “not being allowed to wear UNCOMBED curly hair to school” or that someone told them the phrase “Pa’ arreglar la raza” (Which by the way, is used by dark-skinned Dominicans, NOT light skin Dominicans ). If you are from the Dominican Republic, you know Fausto Mata, who literally calls himself BOCA DE PIANO, has always highlighted the fact of not being attractive. If you’re not blind you can see that he is not an ugly man "just because he is black", if he were white, he would not be attractive either ¿Ustedes son o se hacen? I refuse to believe that there are people tan ñames. Mi gente, bájense de esa ola. We can’t relate! Ustedes tratan de empatizar con los afroamericanos, pero en realidad le faltan al respeto, porque intentan comparar el sufrimiento que pasaron TODOS ellos en una época con unas cuantas palabras vacías que le han dicho a algunos dominicanos, porque a diferencia de ellos no todos han pasado por eso.

The DR has no shame with colorism and misogyny so im glad with your platform you can show that it’s a huge problem in the island (and the community cuz some of y’all Dominican-Americans….get it together plz lol) EDIT 1: the visa joke is very common in the DR because a lot of them want to move to the USA for a better life. This is kinda ironic because these are the same Dominicans that will not accept the DR has a problem with the economy, social class and just overall quality of life.

[@iregaladomota6279]

Have to say as an afro-dominican, I'm glad you have discovered them because yes most of our movies are... something, but I need to say Historical movies are really good and in recent years we have had really interesting propositions in cinema. But contextualising the racism, colorism, and misogyny in the movie is the reality of how many people feel about themselves and others. Like yes, at least 70% of the population, I would say even more, is black and or mixed, and a lot of people don't recognize themselves as black. A lot of the time, it takes the person to live abroad or go out of the country to realise it, especially light-skinned people, because most of us pass as "white" in DR. Also, racism in DR is not a thing for a big part of the population, education is really a privilege there, and colorism is not even a concept. Anti-blackness is something that is intertwined with our history and is really hard for a lot of people to recognize that is a reality. When you try saying something about someone doing microaggressions or being blatantly racist, people treat you like you are crazy. It's something that is trying to be changed actively in the country but the reality is that most of the people in power and with the money and education to do something, are the white Dominicans and those who are closer in proximity to whiteness and believe me, the just want to continue things going like this. Regarding other bad movies in the realm of Dominican Cinema, you need to check out the ones that are made by "Robertico" Roberto Salcedo {The one mayor who put the gorilla statue that you saw in the film}. His films are truly the worst. Each he had a new one, a lot of us just go "whyyyy". He has reaaaallyy bad gems like Pobres Millionarios, (I don't know a lot of them because I know how bad they will be and refuse to watch them)}. Context in the industry, at least some years ago because things are finally changing, a lot of the actors that were used in popular movies weren't actors, they were just people known in the media. The one that plays "Lorenzo" is Fausto Mata, a well-known comedian in the country, regardless he's funny or not, is something he has been doing for a long time in a duo with another comedian, Raymond Pozo. Some bad movies -Lotoman -Cinderelo by Robertico -Pobres Millonarios (Poor millionaires) by Robertico -Todos los hombres son iguales (All men are the same) Some good ones: -Jack Veneno -Tropico de Sangre -El Teniente Amado

It's so weird, so fever-ish and nightmare inducing, and I absolutely love it.

This is super weird but I saw you at Sleep Token last night! I hope you loved the show, it was amazing :D

[@lilxamryn]

this is exactly what i needed after a stressful day of customer service work.

[@trudelulu]

I just don't understand why he didn't just do what he did with his friend and show Marielle the transformation??

[@_bebeboudeur_]

maybe he thought she would be too scared and never go out with him again

[@Demi_Purple]

because the movie wasn't over

[@cpkgrownup9496]

This was right on time. I was hoping I could watch while eating dinner. 🤩

[@lordpeeps1]

I am so embarrassed for my people 😭😭

[@90sDRgirl]

The way my Dominican behind screamed 😂😂😂 oye eso Boca de piano is his name lmao ...."SankyPanky " all I'm saying🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 Haven't seen this one though o.O

[@stephaniefrost4910]

4:23 “the artist formerly known as Twitter” I might have to steal that one 😂 bc I’m never calling it X!

[@SheOwensItAll]

As a Dominican, I'm proud that you watched a Dominican movie. But in a more real sense....I'm deeply ashamed that this is our representation. You are absolutely right that colorism is very loud. Even though I am US-born, I grew up hearing that my light skin was a blessing and my non-kinky hair was beautiful. I wasn't allowed to date men who were "too dark" and taught to apply sunscreen every day. However, this was not done to protect my skin but to maintain my skin's fairness/lightness. The disregard for Haitians is wildly aggressive and only because of the color of their skin. It's truly sad 😢

18:42 I love that he falls asleep on a bench. I don’t think I can fall asleep in the most comfortable bed on earth if I had just raceswapped one night, much less a bench

[@DrizzyJaeable]

FINALLY! This is the first time I’ve seen a crazy movie on Twitter recommended, everyone react and she posts. Yayyy!

[@cacography]

i can't wait for "he looked down at his white penis" to be included in bmaab without context

[@tackycardia]

If you’ve seen American Psycho the movie, you don’t really need to read American Psycho the book. Bret is an excruciating writer love, I Used To Own A Copy Of The Book And It Sucks

[@ambrosiaa5556]

The scene where he was in a tent…😂 true story my mom kicked out my dad because he was an alcoholic and wasn’t helping….instead of leaving he literally pitched a tent in our backyard and just lived in there for a few 😂😂😂

[@Myeolxmang]

you doing a bm&ab of a dominican movies was NOT something i expected lmfaooo

[@AlimajLove]

Would love to see more GRWMs for concerts!

[@xodr91]

23:24 the description of that whole scene had me dyin' 😂😂😂

[@strawberrylime33]

How is this the title of an actual movie?? Kennie, there's another Bring It On movie called Bring It On: Cheer or Die and it looks teeeerible!😂

[@tigress27559]

This movie gives me echoes of Shallow Hal

[@coconutQ29]

As a Dominican, I can’t explain how excited I am!!!!

[@andreyamatthew2035]

The ending was too funny🤣 You got me! I thought you really ended like that for a sec 🤣🤣 I love how your look came out🤩🤩🔥🔥

[@daarmonet]

cant wait for your "talk to me" GM&aG video

[@jerryturner8160]

Hey Kennie my wife myself and both of our daughters love all your bad movie reviews you honestly make us laugh every morning when we start our day. Now I know this has nothing to do with this movie at all but you gotta do a review of Shaq’s movie Kazaam. We all need this. Also all the women in this household said to mention your so Beautiful and they love ur glam

[@taywilson8206]

The pause after the monkey comment 😂 we made the same face 💀

[@realtalk13]

12:30 re: the visa joke, oh it's not only anti-black, that joke is specifically insinuating that he looks like a Haitian, given that many Haitians are migrant workers in the DR. that's probably the more accurate lens to see the entire film, tbh: it's anti-black by way of being anti-Haitian as a lot of the colorism in the DR is rooted in anti-Haitian sentiment

[@noasuntosuyo5680]

That’s incorrect, the visa joke is a very common expression in DR and it means that the person is very dressed up, it comes from the insane requirements from the US consulate when you go get a tourist visa and how people dress up very nicely to not give officers a reason to deny you a tourist visa based on class prejudice

[@fizzysan]

girl this is the second time you posted a vid right when i check your channel LMAO tysm ilysm

[@elleofhearts8471]

gotta say I love this new change of pace with showing the wig installation. I've been curious about wigs for a while so seeing your process was quite the treat 🍬🥰
